26/5/12 - out of date order - Heat and humidity

Aug 04, 2012

My colleagues took me to lunch yesterday to celebrate my birthday (tomorrow) and my return next week to retirement;  eight of them walked from Queen and O'Connor to Milestones on Sussex.  I took a cab.

I walked back to the office with them -- ohmygawd, my hips, my legs, my everything hurt.  (You know, it's called Parliament HILL for a reason, because it's all uphill from the Market to the Mall.)

My boss, who is the only one at work who knows what I am planning, had RYN three years ago;  she made a special point in the afternoon of saying privately and quietly "next year you'll be able to do that walk with NO problem".

It's going to happen -- patience, Marilyn, patience.

Ottawa's the worst for humidity -- well, that and freezing rain, but freezing rain doesn't make me sweat. 

mmm
